Hello,

My name is Casey Rozanski and I am currently an intern at The Alma Center, a non-profit, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  At our program we teach classes targeted at making men better partners, fathers and citizens.  We are a community based organization with a mission of peaceful change.  We currently have at any time up to twelve residents staying at our facility.  These men have alot of doctors appointments, they go job hunting, enjoy group activities. etc.  This is made very difficult for us without a van and staff members have to use there personal cars to take men on their errands.  Often times we have to have two staff members away from the center taking men places and then we have to have at least one staff member stay behind to assist the men at the Alma Center.

This just makes things very complicated and costs us more money because we have to have more people on staff.  Having a van would make our lives so much easier and enrich the men's lives as well.  With a van we would have more opportunities for group activities like fishing and hiking as well. 

As an intern I have been with the Alma Center for seven months and I have about two more months until I graduate with my Masters in Social Work.  I have made it my personal fight and mission to get this organization a van because I know that there is a true need for it.  And if anyone deserves this gift it is the staff at The Alma Center who give their all to make this community and the men we serve and their families.  Please help if you can and rest assured that your donation will make a difference in many lives.
